FRIDAY, 2/28 at 7pm -> We’re excited to be wrapping up a ridiculously fun month of events for #TheSolution7 in grand fashion (no pun intended…LOL) with a the first ever Solution Beat Swap & Fashion Show!!! We’ll be combining music and fashion with styles by Akomplice Clothing, Family Affair, Karma Leigh & Xencs L. Wing, records by ten top Denver diggers and both gear and vinyl from the lovely ladies at Judith & Joe Fashion & Records mobile boutique. We teamed up with the crew at Akomplice for sample sale back in December, which was a hit despite sub-zero temperatures all night, so we decided to bring back the sample sale for round 2; with a great selection of one of a kind items, rarities and more great Akomplice gear on sale at deeply discounted prices (tip: come early at 7pm for the choicest record & gear selections).

Combining music and fashion is just the start though, Moontower Tacos will be back at the Meadowlark too, bringing their uniquely delicious Austin-style tacos to the party. Solution residents DJ Low Key & Lazy Eyez will be on the turntables, Knower Of The Ledge will be catching the fun on film and the night’s gonna be so much that we’re gonna start early at 7pm. Should be a perfect way to cap off a fantastic month of events to celebrate our 7 years of bringing Denver the best in hip hop & lots more, hopefully we’ll see you there!!! 2701 Larimer St / 21+ / No cover until 11, only $5 after. More info on the party on Facebook/Twitter/Tumblr/Instagram.

FRIDAY, 12/20 -> Lazy Claus is back!!! That’s right, everyone’s favorite chimney hopping Asian DJ returns to The Solution and this Friday is your chance to get a pic with him (no sitting on his lap though, he’s got a girl!) at the Meadowlark. Him & DJ Low Key will be rocking turntables and giving out gifts throughout the night, as we celebrate the holiday season and a great year in 2013. We’ll also be welcoming our friends Karma Leigh, Xencs L. Wing & Knower Of The Ledge back with their super fly assortment of jewelry, prints & other goods to make your holiday shopping experience easier, more fun and a little cooler (not to mention it’s a great way to support local entrepreneurs and keep money in the community, all while avoiding the madness of the mall while sipping a drink; what a win-win!!!). Party photographer Knower Of The Ledge will be on-site doing double duty, taking your pic with Lazy Claus for our Instagram (@DenverSolution) & Facebook pages. Enclosed heated patio / $5 Red Bull & Svedka / 21+ / No cover until 11, only $5 after / 2701 Larimer St / More info on the party on Facebook/Twitter/Tumblr/Instagram.

Last but not least, in case you missed the release party for our second limited edition Art Of Records tee last Friday, with acclaimed Denver artist Gabe “Filthe” Parra and our favorite boutique in town, Family Affair; it’s not to late to pick one of the last few remaining Tribe Called Quest Midnight Marauders-inspired tees. Last week we sold out of some sizes, but last time we checked, there were still a few medium, large & extra larges available. We’ll have them at the party on Friday, but you can also order one online at FamilyAffairDenver.com. There were only 25 initially available last week and once they sell out, they’re gone forever; so make sure to get yours today!!!

SUNDAY, 9/22 at 3pm -> Ah, parting is such sweet sorrow. We all knew it was coming and it’s here, the last Goodness of Summer 2013. With that said, Summer 2013 has been INCREDIBLE and trust, the party is going to close it out in grand fashion. As always, the DJ lineup is extra dope, with me, DJ Forge (2-time Red Bull Thre3 Style NC Champ / Jukebox Heroes), Basementalism legend Inka One (Los Angeles / Boombox), 2013 Westword “best hip hop DJ in Denver” winner Lazy Eyez & a surprise guest blessing the turntables.

So yeah, you’re more than covered on music, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. To commemorate another fantastic Summer, we’re having Gabe/Filthe come in to do complimentary bring your own shirt screenprinting. What does that mean, you ask? It meas you can bring in a blank shirt to the party and we’ll turn it into a fresh, Goodness 2013 tee on the spot, for free!!! Yeah, that’s gonna be kinda dope. There’s a lot more going on though, I’m gonna let the pictures help with the rest.

New York mixtape legend and Roc Nation DJ Mick (formerly Boogie) said “I love parties where I can just play. And that party allowed me to do just that. It was cleansing to my soul. Thank Goodness.”.

San Francisco’s DJ Gordo, founder of nationally syndicated party Motown On Mondays, on the party: “Goodness is that rare kind of outdoor party where pouring rain and thunder only fuels the fire on the dance floor and brings people closer together. Don’t go to Denver and miss out on Goodness!”

Red Bull Thre3 Style Los Angeles champion & former US finals runner up D-JR has “Nothing but the best things to say about DJ Low Key’s party Goodness”

World renowned artist & your favorite DJ’s favorite DJ, Chris Karns describes it as “The only patio party I have ever given a shit enough about to go to.”.

Von Pea (of the acclaimed rap group Tanya Morgan) says “Goodness is always a super chill, really dope experience. If I come all the from the East Coast for this party, that tells you something.”.

SUNDAY, 9/15 at 3pm -> Only two more Goodnesses left. The end of the Goodness 2013 season is near and we’re packing in all sorts of fun stuff in to make sure we close it out right. Here’s what we’ve got going on this Sunday:
